like an eternity the people of asli are tense they're still trying to understand how something like this could have happened and the police say they'll still looking there's potential there are more victims to be found on the island is also just outside there is criticism rising for the police that it took them from an hour to now to have to actually find the to find the killer and to stop the massacre so there is criticism of all stories he's over this over this tragic incident the suspect has admitted to crime he said that he wanted a change in society that he wanted to force revolution that it was an atrocious but necessary act to make the norwegian people realize and the society realize that it's going wrong he said it's not a crime more details are emerging about the suspect himself who posted a rant a fifteen hundred page rants on the internet saying how he went to various countries czech republic in the european union with its lax gun laws is what he

said to look for and he explained how he was going to carry out this act so you can maybe understand what is. among community here that he wasn't before he was allowed to carry out his crimes he expressed violent muslim views he was briefly a member of the progress party here in norway which is anti immigrant and the ruling labor party is who he attacked through a blast in the city center the government's headquarters were hit by a car bomb that apparently he went to an oil and just outside where he attacked a group of children he was dressed in a police uniform he had a gun and he was shouting i'll kill everyone everyone must die we have pictures of children swimming for survival hiding in the rule and promoting pictures of a ten year old. boy being saved so the tragedy of a nation really hear more now in this report brave christine it will cause him to call bomb explosion in

a daze and surrounded by broken clothes she stayed in the laws to help the wounded and waitress just standing coughing and then suddenly it just faded it was like i feel like a fish just waiting for your body aloft they are like glass it's in their eyes. you know that gets smashed glass all over them the skin and everything this show patched up victims giving its whole drinks as a nation which has never suffered at the hands of terrorists before he says norwegians just didn't know how to react. a long storm from course on the buildings both on the people shoulders gaming rolling on this man's wife suffered severe shock when their windows were blown out by the blast but he says they're lucky to be alone his thoughts go out to the many young victims of the second attack i think about the old vision to see their house. and. i think.

they are and so this is just to atrocities produced many acts of heroism but to tell settles on the world's worst mass shooting explosive is also causing pain go to the attacks were allowed to happen in the first place bangle truth or dozens of hates messages from suspect anders behring breivik you haven't really been prepared right being extremism previously expressed fury at the government's policy on immigration and you blogs and twitter feeds. the shootings may reflect growing national opposition to feel immigration policies the political establishment the more they are relative the barrel of people that live in areas where there are simply no. immigrants so that was a poor people in order to be pushed out of the places they used to live live in and it's also their drops that are in jeopardy muslims claim this disappointment that

the killer turned out to be wants they want this guy to be muslim or how muslim you know. it's for them it's a little bit strange because he's no egypt so they talk too much about is them under about us. it is not good norwegians are said to be fed up with their brand of what's been dubbed radical liberalism it's the country's multicultural policies that turn the government against his own no way or the far right. wider than. ready to admit and there's a polite and respectful attitude towards that kind of. mainstream media but the reality is that fifty percent of what we jews are against multiculturalism is people who try to pick up the pieces and bring meaning to this twentieth will really thing it will throw relations between communities some expect the crackdown

by police on the growing far right movement all of this fear this will only fuel resentment against europe the muslims victims are beginning to piece spoke together they shouted lawyers but experts warn this might not be the last such a turn as outrage at the perceived failure of a multicultural society grows to see oslo. call for more always tragedy let's talk to investigative journalist tony gosling and he joins us live now thank you very much for being on the program and investigators are trying to determine whether others brave it is simply a delusional loner or part of a far right group but what are your thoughts on that his motivations. well i think we know full well that there are many neo nazis right across the world and particularly in europe and this is probably the first time that we've seen such a big attack by neo nazi group i mean i think anders breivik thought he was some kind of teutonic knights from medieval times because he's echoing the kind of

crusader attitude and it's a very strange version of christianity that he is he says he's a christian i don't think he is maybe the same kind of strange version of christianity that bush and blair have been coming up with over the last ten years or so so i think that this is actually the tip of an iceberg is actually quite a lot of this neo nazi activity out there and now i think the antiterrorist or thought he's right across the world are going to have to take this brand of terrorism much more seriously ok you're saying that there's a bit of an increase in that kind of thinking brevik insults that he wanted to attack the structure of society making reference obviously to the growing muslim population do you think that really more people are thinking this way and could this really be a sign that what's called for there's a misspelling in europe. well yes it does seem that he really was trying to attack democracy because this is the way things are this is the way people want to be so if he's attacking that he's attacking everybody by doing it i would also add to

that it was interesting that the police said they never come across him before the norwegian police but i wonder very much i wonder if the secret service in norway has been watching him because it was very strange that when he was first arrested on friday the police actually called out his name to him now is very i would be amazed if they would have actually known as they first approached him what he's name was i would have thought that from the arrest point that's where the investigation would have started from is it your say that if one had it did come as a surprise that because this is the first ever terrorist attack in norway as the police had said so could it be argued that the country just wasn't particularly particularly prepared for this kind of a tap it could this be in our hearts for anti terror laws it is probably fair to say that most of europe is not prepared for this kind of attack we did have two years ago in britain in the arrest of a couple of what you might call neo nazi certainly far right people who had an arms cache in cumbria in northern england but nothing that they were actually able to

carry out an attack so it's becoming pretty clear now that is a whole different strand of terrorism potentially out there and particularly worrying is that he was a freemason and has as declared that he was a freemason i would imagine that the norwegian police are now going to be talking to other all the other members of any masonic lodges that he was in because this seems to be the place where this kind of fake christian rather nasty racist ideology was cooked up ok the rest was there quickly talk about the time in prison for here now they say that a maximum time for terrorism is twenty one years do you think it could be extended to make a punishment harsher. well i think that we should just allow justice to run its course over in norway that's the best attitude don't come in with any new draconian laws this guy obviously needs to go down if that's what the jury finds and let's make sure that he's not free to roam the streets because we're concerned me is some

of the right wing terrorists we've had in europe over the last thirty forty years really still are pieces from the operation gladio and other similar operations by nato still are walking the streets ok well thank you very much for your insight there investigative for of this attorney gassing the live from london thank you but the whole world is now discussing what lies behind the atrocity in norway you can join the debate on our web site r.t. dot com and looking at the a chart now so far the majority think the share from madison is to play well fewer people see the tension stems from multiculturalism we have eight percent there believing be a reason is global terrorism which penetrates everywhere and the rest say it's down to the failure of security forces while log on to our to our can and have your say on the matter. and so have for you in the program nato begins handing over control of afghan provinces to local army forces but many question if they're really up to the charge. plus we hear from campaigners against u.s.

drone attacks in pakistan not to fire a lawsuit at a former cia legal team for approving attacks that killed hundreds of innocent people. and greece let out a sigh of relief this week as south or long talks e.u. leaders finally agreed on how to help the country avoid defaulting on its debts allotments will now receive a new bailout worth an estimated one hundred ninety billion euros and the plan was agreed after greece approved severe austerity measures sending thousands onto the streets in protest of the rescue will also involve lowering interest rates on greek debt and extending the repayment period a package also doubles the time given to bankrupt portugal and ireland pay back their own loans meanwhile spain which has the highest unemployment rate in the euro zone so thousands of protesters converged on madrid on saturday they camped out in the city center after marching from across the country but financial analysts

that's cars are says bailouts only plunge people deeper into debt. it increases the amount of debt it increases the amount of debt in the eurozone it is a priest of the amount of debt in greece so this is a plan cooked up by bankers to repackage research. debt that's what they do and it crowds out the real economy so they think that this is going to help the economy grow their way to a position of paying off those debt or paying interest on the debt that's likely to happen because by giving bankers more dead to control the productive part of the economy you are eliminating that part the economy's ability to pay off this debt so the banking cancer is just becoming worse in the eurozone and worse in greece reeling out the banks they're not bailing out the workers or the people who are on the ground so to speak they're bailing out european banks they're bailing out wall street banks they're bailing out other banks and so doing they're increasing the

debt load so it's making the situation much worse and they're crowding out any ability for the work workers in greece to generate enough income to pay off this debt this is consigning the population debt service. bill fears of a default also raging across the atlantic as barack obama's meeting with congressional leaders failed to bring about agreement that the u.s. treasury secretary says that congress is working on a framework and the goal is to finalize a deal before asian markets open on sunday afternoon well congress must approve raising its current fourteen point three trillion dollars debt ceiling before august second to avoid default of the impact of america failing to pay its massive debts would shake the entire world economy the deal offered by president obama includes slashing medical and social benefit costs it's a class of republicans are divided over the details of balancing spending cuts talks rhesus and us investigative journalists a great it's ordinary americans so have to foot the government's bills.

george bush when he was president of two thousand and one two thousand and eight when i know it's. a surplus given to him and eighty six billion dollars a year by bill clinton turned that into a six hundred million dollars per year deficit adding three trillion dollars us eric cantor voted for all those search for bush's wars and ran with it weapons for the tax cuts now these guys don't want to pay that bill somehow but compromise means that the. dollars will be paid for by eliminating benefits or the working class american people the elderly people on social security didn't encourage it gets the veterans receiving veteran veterans benefits didn't increase the debt it was the result of bush's wars bush's tax cuts while spending for these programs now are the beneficiaries basically people who got the money

don't want to pay it back. all this week in the phone hacking and police bribery scandal has taken to the british parliament rupert murdoch his son james and the former u.k. c.e.o. rebecca brooks were all grilled by british lawmakers for several hours of the trio said they were deeply sorry for what happened however new allegations have emerged that the news international chairman james murdoch misled the m.p.'s by saying he was unaware of the true extent of alyssa phone tapping by his company's reporters and murdoch's could now face legal challenges in the u.s. over claims the voice mails of nine eleven victims were also targeted meanwhile of britain's hacking scandal appears to be spreading beyond the murdoch empire which could with claims the sunday mirror tabloid also barred celebrities voicemail messages as art is there to check out reports critics believe the issue is just the tip of the iceberg in a society that no longer values individual privacy. as the scandal over phone

hacking by the murdoch media empire rages on public and political theory has mainly focused on ruthless tabloids out of control prepare to invade people's target lines and even the dad to get the story but some say in this day and age the whole concept of privacy is falling apart and in the u.s. more rapidly than elsewhere every time you tap on your cell or click on google or use your meal service everybody's sort of just clicks through that you agree to our terms and conditions well those terms and conditions are very very heavily weighted against you and your privacy interests and we see you breaches of privacy happening . all across america all across the world really in every sector surveillance is rampant but really this is all a microcosm of it and it is surveil are all which is the state there's little americans can do with the state having sweeping access to their private information

access that followed the nine eleven terrorist attacks under a new law known as the patriot act asana law his privacy was taken away from him in two thousand and two when he was detained by the f.b.i. for absolutely no reason he says and scrutinized for months without charge his response for nine years he has voluntarily documented nearly every waking hour of his life on the web he has subsequently even turned it into a form of art see all the toilets i've used so you know that over here for example you know that on sunday november twenty fourth two thousand and seven i've used this toilet i went grocery shopping at safeway over there they were seventy they got gas over here keep copies of every debit card transaction so you can see what he bought where and when a g.p.s. device in his pocket reports his real time physical location on a map and this is the shot he took on his way to our studio which was immediately out loaded on his website. his extraordinary abandonment of his own privacy stems

from the ignorance of the authorities in the fear they decided well that cry looks a little different so he must be arab and if he's arab then he must have explosives everyone knows that that's a logical operating we we realize how ridiculous that logic sounds but when your country when your own country takes out on as the basis for national policy. ignorance as the basis of national policy is a pretty scary situation. and that's how we got caught up and for ha son privacy has become a rally of the past and he says he's not surprised they journeyed list or anyone else really would use the same surveillance tactics as the street in that sense it might be of no surprise that the chief architect of the putrid act the lawyer who put it together happens to be one of murdoch's hand-picked mused for board directors you served as assistant attorney general in the bush administration and

was described by some as the purview of the most sweeping curtailment of freedom in the u.s. since the mccarthy era at a time when corporations and the government can easily hack into people's private lives it doesn't come as a surprise when for example social networks give your personal information and companies or when other industries leave bob breaching the privacy in the u.s. it's so widespread and people have gotten so used to it that rupert murdoch seems to be perfect part of the system rather than some special bill and with corporation has been undertaking some unique all lawful practices because here in america they're not so unique i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t. well if you've missed anything we're covering on air you can head to our web site r t v dot com or there's always more to be found and here's a taste of what's online right now i'm cover a bill he had a mystery fido why every july since the eight hundred eighty s. california and woods have been filled with some of the ghost wealthy and powerful

a day after two high speed trains crashed china killing thirty five people and injuring two hundred rescuers pulled a small toddler from the wreckage but one of the bullet trains was forced to stop after being struck by lightning and was then hit by the second train from behind two of the coach just fell from a bridge as a result of the crash it was the first derail that of china's high speed rail network since the country launched bullet trains in two thousand and seven. a car bomb has killed eight soldiers in the evans coastal city of aden the blast took place near the entrance of an army camp as a convoy of vehicles packed with troops was about to leave official said they were being sent to fight al qaeda linked militants in a nearby province the country has been hit by months of anti-government protests including clashes between security forces and armed groups. a host of celebrities and friends paid tribute to british soldiers as diva any white house

who was found dead in her london flat on saturday police say the cause of her death remains unexplained the twenty seven year old star won a myriad of awards including five grounds for her music and had been hailed as one of the most talented singers of her age her success was often overshadowed by well documented battles with drugs and alcohol also the subject of her hit song rehab last month she canceled her european tour after being booed off stage during a performance in serbia. now in the latest operations that by nato and afghan forces sixteen insurgents have been killed at the country's south but the rate comes in response to recent taliban activity as nato begins a gradual withdrawal from afghanistan well the plan is to recall all four combat troops by the end of twenty fourteen and the new military commander of the country general john allen once said quote tough times ahead for the war effort well earlier this month the afghan president's half brother was assassinated by one of

his own bodyguards and in a separate incident it would have had karzai talk advisors was also guns out as you were activist brian becker thinks the u.s. led coalition is losing ground in afghanistan well the number of casualties continues to rise. they can't win by staying in fact their presence is becoming the main catalyst for the armed insurgency not only the telegram but maybe one hundred forty armed groups and they can't leave either because if they leave there will be a perception that the us and nato were defeated by an armed insurgency but this dilemma must be solved some way so ultimately the united states cannot prevail the assassination of cars as brother and his inner circle shows that the edifice of the karzai regime necessary at least to give it an afghan face to the nato occupation that itself is now crumbling he's armed attacks these assassination attempts are designed to create panic and i think in all likelihood they are creating panic

within the very heart the foundation of the karzai government the u.s. is losing grown steadily its spending one hundred twenty billion dollars a year that's an increasing amount from the treasury has already drained based on huge budget deficits here the number of casualties on the afghan and american side is is is increasing not decreasing and yet they're no closer to victory in fact they're losing control of the country and the government that they sponsor is is in fact in danger of crumbly i would say the u.s. isn't gained anything i think the u.s. is losing ground and spite of what david petraeus and the obama administration say this is a bad situation possibly a catastrophe for the united states. the u.s. has been carrying out a mad drone strikes in pakistan for years but now one of the masterminds of the attacks is in the crosshairs unself former cia official john rizzo faces a lawsuit over civilian casualties and human rights lawyers and the families of victims are seeking of arrest warrant against him it's claimed that rezone approved

a list of targets for the drone strikes which often resulted in scores of civilian deaths tara marie is a member of the campaign group that's bringing the action against reason and she told r.t. that washington must be held to account for its operations in pakistan. thus far these drones have been operating in pakistan in the federal federal ministry of tribal areas fata they've been operating in secret by the cia and they've been killing indiscriminately hundreds of civilians since although the purpose of this is is hopefully to gets a transparency out of out of the cia and out of obama and to to get some justice on behalf of the victims of these drone strikes as we know the u.s. has not had a war in pakistan the u.s. it is operating extra legally by carrying out these drone strikes in pakistan in yemen and somalia and in terms of it being disproportionate you know we have numbers coming out of pakistan that indicate that you know for every one suspected

militants being killed one hundred forty innocent civilians are dying as a result of these strikes and so if those numbers are correct you know we have people on the ground who are who are gathering information who are doing the investigation to try to collect the information so that we can bring a more transparent a more honest picture to the public about what's happening in pakistan. shortly we talk to a man who's joined a very exclusive club one of the few to have reached beyond earth stop here and fewer still to have walked a little surface about south for writer of this week's top stories in just a few moments.
